e.e. cummings on Budget 2008

spiralling downward into an abyss -
not a path that could continue

we wrestled down the fiscal dragon,
a turn of fortune has not happened by accident;
it has happened by design

standing tall as powerful contributors to the federation -
as masters of our own domain.
nothing will hold us back
achieving our goals and fulfilling our dreams

a deep sense of betrayal,
frustration over the federal government;
working against us as partisan foes..

will do nothing to prevent us,
acheiving our goals on our own steam -
the threshold of another great milestone..
in the history of this great province!
a significant turning point..
in the history of this province!
no longer the poor cousin of Confederation,
an economic driver of Canada -
a day for great celebration!

a clarion call to young and old,
expatriates and immigrants from far and wide,
to usher in a period of inspiring economic growth;
UNPRECEDENTED!!
the cranberry industry [...] $2.95 million

proven successes to secure a brighter future;
realizing their dreams~

stand on our own two feet in this federation -
as masters of our own domain.
this future we richly deserve -
masters of our future.

beholden to none who would chart our course for us -
free to choose our own path
to promise and prosperity

proud.

strong.

determined.

ownership of a bright future -
Newfoundland and Labrador

(forever and ever,
amen)
